Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the studs and draw a vertical line down the center of
each stud. Place enclosure assembly (A) on wall. Level enclosure and mark center of four
mounting holes making sure that the mounting holes are on the stud centerlines. Drill four
3/16" (5mm) dia. pilot holes to a depth of 3" (76 mm). Insert two screws (C), leaving a 1/2" gap
between the screw head and the wall, as shown in fig. 2.1.

Installation to Double-Stud Wall
• Installer must verify that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the
equipment and all attached hardware and components.
• Tighten wood screws so that wall plate is firmly attached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening
can damage the screws, greatly reducing their holding power.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in. • lb (9 N.M.).
• Make sure that mounting screws are anchored into the center of the stud. The use of an "edge to
edge" stud finder is highly recommended.
• Hardware provided is for attachment of mount through standard thickness drywall or plaster into
wood studs. Installers are responsible to provide hardware for other types of mounting situations
(not evaluated by UL).

Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the studs and draw a vertical line down the center of
each stud. Place enclosure assembly (A) on wall. Level enclosure and mark center of four
mounting holes making sure that the mounting holes are on the stud centerlines. Drill four 1/2"
(13mm) dia. holes through drywall and metal studs. NOTE: It may be necessary to drill 5/32"
pilot holes prior to drilling 1/2" holes. Insert togglers (O) as shown in figure 2.4. Insert two 1/4"-
20 x 2.5" phillips screws (P), leaving a 1/2" gap between the screw head and the wall, as shown
in fig. 2.5.
Installation to Metal Stud Wall
• Drywall must be 1/2" or thicker, and metal stud must be 24 gauge or heavier.
• Installer must verify that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the
equipment and all attached hardware and components (Not Evaluated By UL).
WARNING
• Product must be mounted through drywall
that has a minimum thickness of 1/2" and
into metal studs, 24 gauge or heavier.
• Make sure that togglers are anchored into
the center of the studs as shown in figure
2.2. The use of an "edge to edge" stud
finder is highly recommended.
• This product is intended for indoor use only.
Use of this product outdoors could lead to

concrete
surface
• When installing Peerless wall mounts on cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of
1-3/8" (35 mm) of actual concrete thickness in the hole to be used for the concrete anchors.
Do not drill into mortar joints! Be sure to mount in a solid part of the block, generally 1" (25
mm) minimum from the side of the block. Cinder block must meet ASTM C-90 specifications.
It is suggested that a standard electric drill on slow setting is used to drill the hole instead of a
hammer drill to avoid breaking out the back of the hole when entering a void or cavity.
• Concrete must be 2000 psi density minimum. Lighter density concrete may not hold concrete
anchor.
• Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment
and all attached hardware and components.
• Tighten screws so that wall plate is
firmly attached, but do not overtighten.
Overtightening can damage screws,
greatly reducing their holding power.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in. • lb (9
N.M.).
• Always attach concrete expansion
anchors directly to load-bearing concrete.
• Never attach concrete expansion anchors
to concrete covered with plaster, drywall,
or other finishing material. If mounting to
concrete surfaces covered with a finishing
surface is unavoidable (not evaluated
by UL), the finishing surface must be
counterbored as shown below. Be sure
concrete anchors do not pull away from
concrete when tightening screws. If
plaster/drywall is thicker than 5/8" (16
mm), custom fasteners must be supplied
by installer (not evaluated by UL).
